I might seriously grab one of these to replace my Fitbit. I just want something simple to display notifications and let me monitor my heart rate and this looks to be right up my alley. Plus that battery life dwarfs anything else on the market, even if the one with the HR only gets a few weeks, that’ll crush anything available.
The pinetime using infinitime basically does that, albeit without always on and the heart rate monitor only fires off when the screen wakes up or when you go into the applet and click start. But i usually get around 2 weeks of battery life with it, maybe more.
Its probably not as good as this, but on the plus side, it’s like a $25-35 watch before shipping.

Plus it’s open source? Let’s goooo.
a bangle.js is probably a better investment, as it sports the same always-on display and 30 day battery life for about half the price.
